Bias- Giesel’s point of view in the cartoon is that if you are able to join the war but you don’t, then you are lazy and can’t tell great American war…
In this cartoon, the artist is clearly anti-Jackson; one wouldn't praise a president by portraying him as a…
In this speech by Charles Foster Kane, there are several examples of being bias. To start with the whole speech is bias because it is only coming from one person’s point of view. Charles Kane does not offer to bring in his opponent to defend himself. He is constantly attacking Jim Getty as being the bad guy, while never offering any solutions to fix the problems. Another example of bias comes from the campaigner at the beginning of the audio clip. The campaigner is bias by say, “There is only one man who can rid the politics of this State of the evil domination of Boss Jim Gettys. I am speaking of Charles Foster Kane, the fighting liberal, the friend of the working man…” This would be considered political bias because the campaigner is saying that there is only one possible person, Kane, to fix the State.…
In the 1787 constitutional convention, there were many ideas discussed on the election of the president. This, to the demise of some, this is where the idea of the electoral college was formed. The original idea was that the most intelligent and high off people should be the ones to elect the president because the framers feared that the public majority was too uneducated to make decisions regarding the president and their opinion would shadow out the opinion of the minority opinion. Unfortunately, these ideas are still used in the presidential election process.…
Media bias can be a bad thing, by giving false or heavily swayed information to the readers. This should be a lesson to all politically active citizens to know the news source before the…
Today, an American’s political views develop from a number of sources. Magazines, movies, television, newspapers, and the Internet all shape public policy and the outcome of an election. However, most of those sources are fairly modern; newspapers and, magazines were the sole source for the American people up till about seventy years ago. Newspapers needed a way to present political information that was interesting and understandable to all; cartoons were the best way. Thomas Nast can easily be noted as the father of early political cartoons, because of his many contributions to the public policy of his time and his influence on the political media today.…

Ignorance is the greatest challenge that man has yet to overcome; its ability to spread hatred makes it at fault for many of humanities problems. The only cure for such a wide-spread, and often deadly disease, is knowledge. Knowledge can be spread through many forms, but the most powerful way to spread it is through celebration. Celebrations allows for people to be surrounded by others in a place free from the things that divide us in the outside world. This is why Multicultural events are a very popular form of celebrating diversity, it appears as a party, but is secretly breaking down cultural barriers. This is why Williams Lake needs one; with the negative spotlight that has been shining down on the town, there needs to be a way to remind people that Williams Lake is more than its gang problem.…

For this assignment, I used Yahoo as my search engine to come across an article that tells about the IRS current tea party scandal and how Barrack Obama is not involved in it. The article was not clear, in my opinion, because it failed to give me a complete view or enough information on what exactly is going on. I had to look elsewhere to figure out what exactly this scandal is. However, the article was accurate because some of the fact where across multiple websites that I encountered. The article is a mixture of opinion and fact. The article states that Obama did not have anything to do with this, but this is just an opinion because it has yet to be proven if he did or did not. There were also plenty facts that are being ignored, such as what exactly is the scandal and is the scandal true. I feel that an article that is defending the president should state and make it clear what exactly they are defending him from. There were no other prospective or worldviews in this story. It gave a single viewpoint, saying that Obama knew nothing about the scandal until it broke news. Throughout the article senior adviser, Dan Pfeiffer, is defending Obama and states how something like this is inexcusable and should not happen again. There are questionable assumption that were presented in this story. For example, in the article it states the Sen. Rand Paul suggest that there was a written policy to target conservative groups opposing the president, but when asked and pressed about it he could not provide any details. Also, I am still under the assumption rather or not our president knew about what was going on. I feel that this article would be different on the television rather than reading an article online. By watching it on television I will get a better understanding of what exactly is going on because they are more likely to emphasize it a little more. I think the best source to hear a article like this will…
Many people watch media outlets that are biased. Fox News, one of the most viewed news programs, televises content that is seemingly biased towards liberals. Like most news programs Fox News provides their audience with content that would not coincide with the views of an individual that has a more liberal mind frame. Subjects such as abortion and stem cell research have gained a massive amount of notoriety within recent years. Fox News has chosen a conservative approach when speaking on the subjects.…
This story was about health care cost and the coverage available to people with pre-existing conditions. How if people have cancer or Multiple Sclerosis that insurance companies in some states can raise the rates on premiums. This can keep people from being able to afford it any longer. The medical costs of treating Multiple Sclerosis were as high as $27,000.00 a year for an individual in 2007, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (Young, 2012).…
“A Billion Cases of Rape Occur Each Day!” Imagine a news headline with that as the title. The initial absurdity of this claim would soon enough result in a deafening outcry by the public with fear and fury running rampant. Currently, the media has such a powerful influence on the public that with a single line of text the nation could be sent into anarchy. With no means to slow the speed at which the media can spread information, fraudulent news can quickly influence the public. A similar scenario is possible if the media neglects to pursue objectivity and denounce bias. Therefore, the media is in fact a problem in modern society and should be expected to strive to be as objective as possible in order to halt its influence on bad policy making,…
In America, there is media bias because ratings tend to increase when the attention span is more focused on the issues at hand. For instance, people would much rather documentaries or visuals involving chaos and violence rather than a humanly interview. Therefore, media becomes biased because the chosen headliners and stories are consumed with drama which draws larger audiences. On the other hand, political views as portrayed in the news are more likely to be liberal than conservative. Although there is little evidence to support this claim, the political views in different forms of media are usually liberal dependent on social issues such as feminism, gay rights, and welfare. Depending on the carrier of media, a company such as Fox News or CBS might edit the actual news in order to fit their persona or political views behind the company.…

That’s a tie as well- 45% pick Obama, 45% choose Romney.”…
